Persistent Slide

by Ingraved on 27 August 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Deck designed to abuse astral slide.
Loam + cycle lands
Most permanents are 3cc or less so sun titan can abuse loam's dredge
orim's + witness can be used to lock down opponent
tutor aura shards for pesky artifacts and enchants

My favorite combo with the deck is to wrath late game with a sun titan bounced and bring back witness with titan to also grab an orim's chant to lock down opponent.

Deck discussion for Persistent Slide

I like the idea. But only 11 cards out of sixty have cycling. You'll be going through about 20 cards a game, maybe a little more. So, on average, you get 2 cycling cards a game. That only gets good if you have Life from the Loam to get your lands back into your hand. So you might want 4 of those, and maybe... Nature's Spiral. Orim's Chant doesn't fit that well, so you might want to take that out.
Astral Slide is so easily abused... Especially with Fluctuator. :D

Thank you for posting

I have tested 4 loams before and they just seemed overkill in this deck. I have noticed that if I don't get loam it slows down a lot but I am able to quickly thin out the deck with tusker and heath as well as stall with wrath and finks. With a witness out I can cycle and recover the cycling card each turn allowing for two extra draws per turn. Orim's chant does look funny in a deck like this but it is really fun to watch the the hope fade from your opponent when he realizes you can lock him down easily.

I used Ghostway for awhile but I found it to be unnecessary after Sun Titan came around.

Yeah, I could see that. And since Loam has Dredge, you really only need to pull 1 per game, and with the Heaths and the Cycle Lands, you should be going through your deck fast enough to pull one.
Loam+Sun Titan is scary.

I like this deck idea. I run a similar one. I used the Krosan Tusker for awhile and found it redundant and unneeded when I added Life from the Loam.

If you wouldn't mind, would you take a look at mine?
